This records the birth of Berel son of Dovid son of Leib Margolis. I am having trouble reading the wife's name. I believe her first name is Gitel but I cannot decipher what it says after Gitel.
If anyone can figure this out I appreciate hearing from you. This Berel was my great grandmother's brother, so Dovid and Gitel are my great great grandparents.
